The Far Side of the Stars is a science fiction novel by David Drake.
It is the third part of the military space opera RCN Series.

While the Republic of Cinnabar is at peace with the Alliance, warriors
like Lt. Daniel Leary and Signals Officer Adele Mundy must find other work-
like escorting a pair of wealthy nobles on an expedition to the back of
beyond! The Princess Cecile, the corvette in which they carved their
reputations in letters of fire, has been sold as a private yacht, but she
still has her guns, her missiles, and her veteran crew. Daniel and Adele
will need all of those things as they face winged dragons, an Alliance
auxiliary cruiser, jealous lovers, and a mysterious oracle which really
does foresee the future. That won't be enough, though, when they penetrate
a secret Alliance base and find a hostile fleet ready for a war that will
sweep Cinnabar out of a strategically crucial arm of the galaxy.
Preventing that will involve skill, courage, and more luck than a sane man
could even pray for; and it will require a space battle on a scale that
a tiny corvette like the Princess Cecile has no business being involved in.
But she'll be in the middle of it anyway, because Daniel, Adele, and their
Cinnabar crew would never turn their backs on a fight!
